MAC Eyegloss

I heard about the possibility of MAC Eyegloss at the beginning of this year and I’ve been obsessd with idea ever since. So, discovering that they’re a reality now was a total thrill.

MAC Eyegloss

Medoc is a rich, rich red shade – I can’t imagine a more dramatic eye than this. Slightly Tauped is the gentlest shade with soft irridescent sparkles in the mix, while Pearl Varnish is a strong white, again with irridescent shimmers. The black shade (Noticably .. something!) has red shimmer to it and it’s not an exact black, more a deep blackberry shade with notes of purple in the mix.

Look at the gleam on those! Texture wise, of course, they don’t feel like a texture that should go on the eye, but they’re thick – thicker than a lipgloss would be so that they adere to the lids correctly. I imagine on the eye they’re going to feel pretty strange but it’s such a strong look, there will have to be a little pain for the ultimate gain! You’re probably not going to be wearing these at all unless you’re prepared to take some make-up risks.

So many have tried and failed at the concept of an eye gloss – I didn’t have a chance to get it on my lids – there are hardly any of these in production at the moment; only the MAC artists have them, and even then they’re in pretty short supply. I’m hoping we get to see them on some backstage looks; keep your eyes peeled!

Very intriguing. I wonder how similar these Mac eye glosses are to those Body Shop eye shadow glosses I had as a kid. The Body Shop ones were really sheer and about the same consistency as Vaseline, if I remember correctly.

I AM IN LOVE!!! I remember that Chanel did a gloss quad with a red for the eyes, but the crease was so extreme that I couldn’t make it work, and people seemed to be just using them as a base, which totally wasn’t the point. I expect Mac have made this workable in some way, otherwise they’d not bother. I want them now!

This are definitely going to be more of an editorial use product for MAC rather than for day to day wear. I probably won’t partake because when I do makeup for myself and others its a lot more towards the “beauty” side rather than the editorial and avant garde, but I’m interested in seeing how well MAC can pull off something that is going to be so difficult to make in the first place. Hmm..

I’d love to do a beauty shoot with these! Don’t know how they would fare for proper wear though given that I have monolids – probably would end in a bit smeary glossy mess, which in itself isn’t always a bad thing. Ting x
